My Valentine

“Guard well your spare moments.
They are like uncut diamonds.
Discard them and their value
will never be known.
Improve them and they will become the brightest gems
in a useful life.”

~Ralph Waldo Emerson

He sends his daughter roses on her eighteenth birthday.
He re-reads books to the youngest that he’s already read multiple times with the older ones.
He’ll always keep a standing date for a miniseries or documentary on history or physics.
He’s taught two teenagers how to drive (so far).
He serves his community, volunteers at church, leads by example.
He supports me in everything I do.

He’s my Valentine.
